Description

What happens when the titles we’ve lived under — wife, stay-at-home mom, stepmom, fiancé— suddenly fall away? Jess K. and Jess T. strip down the illusions of identity and talk honestly about what it takes to rebuild from the inside out.

Admittedly. It's not easy. Jess K. sometimes wears her engagement ring in secret (it's just so pretty). Jess T. crashes out sometimes, juggling the stresses of single parenting 5 (FIVE!) kids. But every day, we're getting closer and closer to becoming the confident, content and resilient women God created us to be...no matter our relationship status.
